Music scientists funded by the European Research Council gathered at the Pompeu Fabra University to showcase an area of research that is not so well known. The conference featured 20 projects funded by the European Research Council that focus on music and its impact on technology and society.

Around 4% of the population suffers from ‘amusia’ – a disorder affecting the perception and production of pitch in music. Understanding this phenomenon could help a seemingly unrelated group: people with autism.

This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 672302).
